I am a Finance/marketing major with minor in economics. No computer what so ever. However, I have always had a thing for the web. You just need to the have the will to make tons and tons of mistakes. Never give up even though you do not understand anything. Like any hard work in life, it takes time.

Now, where to start? There is a 100's of places where to start. You can start by looking at tutorials on Youtube to start.

Honestly, you do not have to be exceptionally skilled with the use of computers or anything else for that matter in order to know and use HTML.

HTML, really, just consists of a few simple rules and the knowledge of using tags properly.

Most opening tags have a closing tag, and this is the case for most.

As for software, I would suggest getting either Adobe Dreamweaver or something similar. This way, each time you create a new HTML page, it will add all the necessary HTML tags and page setup, including your doctype, html, head and body tags for you. From there, you are ready to start using HTML right away.

Im sorry Charles, but I do not follow. That page I provided the link for only lists tags with a little information about them. Obviously, there are much better resources out there on the net, but there is nothing wrong with what I provided. Very few of those tags are depricated, and are still used to this day. It is not a full list of HTML tags, but list something.
